Capcom x Microsoft announcement...Monster Hunter Frontier Online. Stand down, people
- Thread starter Jonnyram
- Start date
Monster Hunter announcement is nothing for me, kudos to those who love it though.
SSFIV announcement was good, especially the free DLC, it wasn't the 3S characters which seemed to get delayed - but at least the date is set finally, right around when I expected it as well.
Dead Rising 2, no firm release date, but they can take their time with it, no worries.
Lost Planet 2 date - hell yeah! And even BETTER than that is:
Now that's awesome - that's how you give props to the game that inspired you!
Really wanna see that trailer with them in it now!

i think the wii's the only console with exclusives. monster hunter tri, spyborgs, tatsunoko vs capcom, we love golf, zack & wiki, and both resident evil lightgun games.
pretty much everything on ps360 is available on both, then you add the pc into the mix and then there are no exclusives. i guess you could count dead rising for the 360 an exclusive since the wii port is so lame. (not counting xbla, psn, vc)
don't even wanna touch ds and psp libraries though.

whoa, this is ...huh?
It will come but I don't think it will be Tri Portable as people think. I kinda have the feeling they will utilise Frontier content instead. MHFP. then. Or MHFPO. There was a chinese magazine that showed as much, and even had screenshots showing the PSP hud elements with MHF monsters (espinas, I think) but that might have been fake. I think Tri content would be harder to port than MHF content though.Jonnyram said:
Yeah, Wii was the only console I could think of that they've made exclusives for and that makes sense. Wii should be only getting exclusives as it's a system that doesn't really lend itself to ports.Agnates said:Monster Hunter Tri
I was also going to say Ace Attorney before remembering it's on GBA, DS, Wii, and Mobiles now :lol
The bulk of its content is older though, and according to users here it also has a low-end and high-end graphical mode, maybe the low end version of those higher end monsters you mention is easy enough. Also the environments seem blockier than Tri for sure, even in that 360 trailer.

Umm, what makes you question that thinking for MH3 yet not MHF? :lolMightyKAC said:
Again, compare the 360 MHFO trailer with the 5th blinking button here. I think it's obvious which is harder to down-port on an asset level. The resolution will of course be smaller than both of these so how one is much sharper looking means nothing. That's pretty much an auto process. Geometry reduction isn't.
Has the trailer been posted yet?

It's Monster Hunter allright. Graphics look like ass.

Any home iteration of MH with netplay and dual stick control is automatically a contender for the best Xbox Live game.
Do it Capcom.
Do it Capcom.

Maybe this is all just a big test to see how big of an audience there is on the 360 for a MH game? Maybe the business decisions of the next "real" monster hunter will be affected by the succes/failure of this.
Sorry, I still have to question your sanity. What game you've played on PSP comes close to MH3? I don't have many PSP games but I do think I have some of the nicer looking ones, including a Monster Hunter game, and they're several levels below Tri (+ generally smaller areas + low fps). Tri port would have to be a demake.

So here's a question for you. Let's say that the Capcom made Tri for the PSP and it looked EXACTLY like say Monster Hunter Freedom Unite graphics-wise but had EVERYTHING ELSE that was in Tri gameplay and multi-player wise.
Do you honestly think that it WOULDN'T sell millions in Japan?
Edit: you know as well as I do that the area sizes would tranfer to the psp JUST fine..
Monster Hunter is perhapse the epitome of why you just can't port games from one side of the world to the other and expect them to be monster hits. The majority of Monster Hunter games in the west have been ad-hoc only, which is fine in Japan, but someone should of really told them that you can't ship a game such as Monster Hunter in the US without some sort of netplay. Than to charge gold users $15 a month for a true online Monster Hunting experince? Yeah, someone really dropped the ball on a golden opertunity...
It would. Who said it's impossible to do? Just much work, ie hard to do, ie what we were discussing and you questioned. MHFU content seems easier to port with less work to me as much of the geometry is already basic to Freedom Unite levels, and that would also sell millions. Your point?
Edit: and no, I don't know and you don't know area sizes would translate perfectly. I didn't mean the level layout, since that doesn't matter as the levels are segmented, but the specific segments, the rooms if you will. Tri has some really huge ones, especially underwater. If Freedom Unite does I've yet to see them.

Just watching the video, what is more disapointing than the graphics is that awful music! It is quite awful by any standards. But especially compared to the epic stuff they produced for Tri.
Just listen to how expensive and well produced Tri sounds in comparison.

Have you seen how MH3 compares to MHFU? In many ways, MH3's monsters are more difficult to replicate then MHF's. Animations, Poly counts, AI, Textures, they're all miles ahead of what we've seen in the PSP versions. Oh and that's not mentioning the environments, not a chance in hell would those still be recognisable on the other end.MightyKAC said:
Now I'm not saying a port couldn't be done, but it certainly wouldn't be easy (Which is kind of a condition for port friendly).

True MH3 graphics are far better than MHP2G for sure. But MHP2G is not the best looking game on the PSP these days either. There are games like GodOfWar and Dissidia and Kingdom hearts that look much better.
And considering a Tri port to PSP is guaranteed to sell in the millions, I'm not really going to cry for Capcom if it is not that "easy" to port.

Sorry, I meant. When is Capcom going to port a MH iteration to the PS3. :lol Because we know, thats all the HD consoles are going to get.
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom made MH a portable franchise with the spin offs coming on the Wii. (with 3 year old ports coming to X360/PS3). :lol
EDIT: Prediction time: MH3P/MH4 will be a launch title for PSP 2 in Japan.
